how to spell a word correctly according to the rules of the Russian language
Sometimes there is a difficulty, how to spell a word correctly: “do” or “do”? The rules of the Russian language, advice from teachers and illustrative examples will help you remember, the only option is to “do”

The origin of a word allows us to find out how the rule of its spelling came about. The word "do" has a long history, because people have always done something, and it had to be said. It can even be assumed that this word reflects all the past, present and future activities of people.
In the ancient European language there was a word "de", meaning "to do, put". In the Old Slavonic language, the word "delati" arose, going back to the ancient Greek counterparts.
Among the Slavic peoples, this word took root, but acquired a different sound: Czech "delat", Polish "dzhelach", Slovenian "delati", Ukrainian "dilaty", Bulgarian "dyalam". The letter "c" was added later, as is often the case with prefixes.
The word “to make” has different meanings: the end of the case (“It is said - done ”), the manufacture of something (“The builders were instructed to make a house in good conscience”), matchmaking (“Blessing you here, made yours daughter for her nephew”, obsolete), sale (“Shares made on the stock exchange at a hundred”, obsolete), superiority (“I made with his one hand”, slang).
The rule “to do”
The rule is quite simple: “s” is a prefix, and the prefix “z” does not exist in Russian, so we write only “do”. The problem is that “z” is still heard, which is why it is tempting to write the verb “to do”. But it must be remembered that the prefix "s" is written in all words, regardless of which consonant (voiced or voiceless) the root begins with.

"Here" or "here": how to spell the word
We often doubt how such a small word is spelled correctly: "here" or "here". Having studied the history of its origin and the rules of the Russian language, why it is necessary to write only "here"
"I never say, 'I need you to do this .' I say: "I'm wondering if you can do this " ”(G. Ford).
"Always do what you're afraid to do do " (R. W. Emerson).
"We will not help people by doing for them what they could do for themselves" (A. Lincoln).
"Never ask another that you can do yourself" (T. Jefferson).
"What can do laws in politics without morality?” (B. Franklin).
“Is the world bad? Well make better!” (S. P. Mavrodi).
Other prominent personalities use the word “make” in a more varied way:
“Whom heaven has made a slave, no parliamentary vote can make free” (T.
Carlyle).
“Whoever claims that money can do everything, it is likely that he himself can do all for the sake of money ”(E. Meyerson).
“The scene needs to be done and then played” (K. S. Stanislavsky).
“To criticize means to prove to the author that he did not do this the way I would have done if I could” (K. Capek).
“I have so much to do that I'd better go to sleep” (R. Benchley).
Teachers' Councils
Elena Donetskova, senior teacher of the Russian language home school "InternetUrok"; teaching experience 28 years :
- To write this word correctly, you need to understand what the first letter in its composition represents. In this case, it is a prefix, just like in the words "go", "run away". Look: walk - go, run - run away, do - do (that is, complete some action).
“I got up early today, I managed to do a lot before dinner.” The prefix "s-" is unchangeable and is always written the same way, but there is no prefix "z-" in Russian. So it is correct to write “to do” and, accordingly, the forms of this word, for example: “I will do”, “do”, “did”.
Such words as “here”, “building”, “health” bring doubts. It must be understood that their first letter “z-” is part of the root and they have nothing to do with the rule by which the word “do” is written.
Yuliya Golovina, Russian language teacher at Tetrika online school :
– Many people often have doubts about the spelling of prefixes. In most cases, such doubts lead to errors. One example of such errors is the spelling of the word "do" with the letter "z" at the beginning. What causes such an error? All Russian prefixes can be divided into two groups: changeable and unchangeable. The following rule applies to variable prefixes (for example, bez- / bes-, nid- / nis-): if they are followed by a deaf consonant, then the letter “s” (helpless) is written, otherwise - “z” (limitless) .
This rule confuses us in the word “do”, since after the prefix there is a voiced sound [d]. However, the prefix “s-” is invariant, and its spelling is exactly the same, since the prefix “z-” does not exist: in words such as “building” or “health”, the letter “z” is part of the root.

Introduction
Do not neglect the rules of the Russian language in order to make your speech clear and literate. Spelling of certain words have their own characteristics , and in order to avoid gross errors, you should know them and be able to put them into practice. Of particular importance is the correct spelling of prefixes , which cause difficulties for every person. For example, what is the correct spelling of the word "make" or "make"?
Spelling of the verb
The word "make" is a perfective verb 1 conjugation .
According to the rules of the Russian language, this word is written with the prefix "s".
In order not to make a mistake in the spelling of this part of speech, to begin with, let's morpheme . In order to understand what the root is in the word, it is necessary to put the verb in the initial form - this is the word "do".
If we substitute other prefixes to this word, we will understand that it is the root of the matter in this part of speech. So, we found out that verb has the following structure:
- prefix "s";
- root "deeds";
- verbal suffix "a";
- ending "t". According to the university program, “t” will be a suffix, but for the school program this does not really matter.
Spelling of words with prefixes in "z" and "s"
The spelling of prefixes ending in "z" and "s" depends on the following consonant. If there is a deaf consonant letter, then we will write the word with a prefix for “s”, but if there is a voiced consonant, then we will write “z”.
The letter “z” is written in such prefixes as: -without-, -raz-, -is-, -nis-, etc.
The letter “s” is written in such prefixes as: -vos- , -is-, -bes-, -sun-, -nis-, etc.
Examples: endless, painting, product, look, shameless, fall, draw etc.
Important! The prefix "s" is not included in this rule, it is used regardless of the subsequent consonant in the root:
For example: surrender, ruin, fall down, rabble, burn, run away , etc.
Attention! The prefix "z" does not exist in Russian!
There are only words that have an initial root "z".
For example: hello, building, health, here, local, big man etc.
The prefix "s" in the word "to do"
Referring to the above rule, we can conclude that in the word "to do" is correct it is written with the prefix "s" , since there are no words for "z".
Often, people like to add the letter “z” instead of the prefix “s” to this verb, hence the word “to make”, which is an incorrect spelling of .
